Notes: As noted, the second night of the tour and Bono's voice is failing him, but instead of holding back the malady propels him and the band to an inspired performance. Hard to believe such a "rig" could yield this recording but it did; the remaster was mostly for levels and a touch of sharpening. The show sounds gloriously wide open, translucent and every bit as good as what's being done on this year's tour if not better. Don't let the bit of crowd at the start fool you. There was a crowd surge to the stage during "People Get Ready" that accidentally shut off the deck, but Brother KM did get most of the song and restarted in time to catch the ending. The transfer/remaster was done by me a few years ago and some U2 collectors may have this version indirectly (the circulating version appears to be called Back in the Desert), but I see many many inferior versions on lists out there (from the bootlegs Joshua Tree in Flames and Governor Mecham & MLK). This is the real thing from the master cassette and the original remastered CD-R made from it.

Notes: The Tempe concert is the second concert of the Joshua Tree Tour, Bono had voice problems on the first concert but he sings well in this show. During "Where The Streets Have No Name", he shouts, "I can sing!" The version of "Bullet The Blue Sky" ends in a strange way, but the other songs are nicely played. There are a lot of covers in "Bad" (from The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, etc.) and the bonus tracks are very interesting because you can find some rarely-performed songs like "Lucille" and "Mothers Of The Disappeared" (which is a good version). The cover lists "Sympathy for The Devil" as "Street-Fighting Man". This is the original pressing on this label.
